The digital currency created by Ripple for international payments
and money transfers fell below $1 for the second time this year
early Thursday, bottoming out at $0.984. That's a drop of more
than 30% from its high of $3.3153 on January 4, according to data
from Markets Insider.

2018 so far has been marked by extreme volatility for all
cryptocurrencies, with many tokens seeing swings as large as 10%
in either direction, a swift departure from the previous year in
which prices seemed to only go up.
